Knicks' Chandler out 4-6 weeks with leg fracture

The only silver lining in Wednesday’s news concerning Tyson Chandler’s injury is the former Defensive Player of the Year will not require surgery.

The Knicks announced their valuable center will be lost for 4-6 weeks with a small non-displaced fracture of his right fibula following an injury he suffered in the first quarter of Tuesday’s disheartening, defense-free 102-97 defeat to Charlotte at the Garden.
